How to navigate the myosin-V motor through the actin network

P. Spieler, A. Oberhofer, D. Zimmermann, E. Brames, A. N. Hume, Z. Oekten

This paper shows that phosphorylation regulates myosin-Va switching behavior at actin-actin crossings via its adaptor protein Mlph, enabling precise cargo navigation in amphibians but not in zebrafish.

Kinesin-2 from C. reinhardtii is an atypically fast and auto-inhibited motor that is activated by heterotrimerization for intraflagellar transport

P. Sonar, W. Youyen, A. Cleetus, P. Wisanpitayakorn, I. S. Mousavi, W. L. Stepp, W. O. Hancock, E. Tuezel, Z. Oekten

This study investigates the function of kinesin-2 motors in C. reinhardtii, showing that FLA8/10 is auto-inhibited and activated by KAP subunit heterotrimerization for fast intraflagellar transport.
